Beyond Driven
Flat ground, a full charge, and no headwinds? I'd give that a go.
Recommend plotting the route at evtripplanner.com, downloading the .csv file, and looking at the net elevation. My recollection of Florida was that it was flat, but I didn't get to St. Augustine.
Or you could drive at normal speed and detour for 20 minutes for a quick charge...
You know, when I used to have to stop at St Augustine, I'd go up 75 through Ocala, then across on 301/19/207. It can be a little annoying going through towns with speed limit changes, but I'll do anything not to go I4. It's 188 miles going that route.
Now I can just go straight through to Kingsland!

Sure. Just rub that 90D in my face.
I'm a little worried about driving a red Tesla through Waldo. Even if I'm going 30moh, it looks like I'm going 60!!!
Hey Steve,
I have made the drive from Lutz to the St. Augustine supercharger a few times as a straight shot and have made it somewhat comfortably, albeit without any insane driving ( I have a P85+ with the less efficient 21" wheels as well). Hope this helps and to confirm, do NOT go over the speed limit in Waldo!

Thanks. After looking at the maps, I will probably take the Ocala route and make a quick 10 minute stop at the Ocala Supercharger to top off.I'm in S Tampa, so you have about a 15 mile advantage on me.
Because I can't stop myself... Where's Waldo?Hey Steve,

Sorry.
Made the trip with no problem. Because of the storms on Monday, opted for the I-4 route to have Port Orange as a backup. Started with 249 (98% charge for my 3 year old beast). Arrived at the St Augustine supercharger with 30 miles to spare. That was after driving through raging storms until I got through Orlando. Lower speeds helped set off range loss caused by rain.
Side note: the "food court" near the St Augustine SC is hideous. Only three choices (they divided one to make the choices appear like 4). I recommend you drive through one of the burger joints on the way in. Being the gourmet that I am, I opted for a foot long chili cheese hotdog at the food court. Got a dried up dog with cheese whiz and a brown sauce they held next to a photo of beef,as it certainly had no meat in it.

When Rick and I road tripped, we dined on a lovely chicken pasta salad with fruit in it that I'd made, and on the way back on a delicious lentil, feta and cranberry salad I'd made in our hotel room the night before we left. You just aren't doing it right!

Yeah, the trick is that you have to take Btrflyl8e with you. But then you have to listen to her sing.

Loud and proud! Don't forget the car dancing. Also, who brought the end of the day cocktail supplies?
Small price to pay, I would say.

Ah yes, the car dancing. And of course the cocktails. Actually I think it was the most fun I've ever had on a road trip. Ever.

Red Menace may hurt me
I've been to that food court. It is not nearly as flavorful as you describe. I walked to the IHOP nearby.
I made our food...I think you missed that part!
And when IHOP is your best choice, well, I cry for your heart and arteries, too!
